A personal anthem of sorts with a mantra that still rings true even today. Written by James Straight in the early 80's while trying to balance life/work and art/commerce and achieve the goals I had set for myself but as the song says "I can't seem to get what I really want" and here we are. The song was recorded several times with slight changes made each time. This is the final version recorded in the 90's
Doppler Effect is :
James Straight - Synths, Drum Programming, Samples, and all Vocals
Dr X - FZ-1 Sampler
Recorded and Mixed at Madame's Studio E518 in Boston

James Straight's Electronic band, Doppler Effect, explores what Straight calls the encyclopedia of electronic music. Since it's inception in 1981 up to the present the band has explored and incorporated almost all styles of electronica from Ambient to Industrial, Techno, Synth Pop, EBM, House, Dark Wave, Acid, Disco, with a touch of Punk and Funk around thre edges. It all depends on the song as Straight sees his work as mini films or dramas utilizing the whole paint box to achieve the desired effect, his only rule is it must work for the song.
